RCMP of Wood Buffalo Detachment, Chief of the Mikisew Cree First Nation and the Acting Fire Chief jointly signed and sent an open letter to the residences of the Wood Buffalo Municipal Region. Asking that residence balance freedom of expression be balanced with public safety.
This letter comes after Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation threatened to blockade highway 63 if the omnibus bill C-45 was not rescinded. Chief Allan Adam's statement was reported in a CBC story, Idle No More Protests held across Canada on 11 Jan, 2013.
"Maintaining a measured approach is a challenge, particularly in an environment which is emotionally charged, but we cannot allow the actions of one or more individuals to endanger the health and safety of other citizens." Open Letter to Our Community, from RCMP, Chief of Mikisew and Acting Fire Chief.
